HOW TO Use Yoga for Hip Flexibility

Yoga Straps are an important yoga prop to assist you in getting deeper into poses, in holding your poses longer, and all while maintaining proper alignment in the pose. A yoga strap can become an extension of yourself to allow you to reach hands and feet that would otherwise be unreachable. It can also make certain bound poses easier, without having to loop two straps together.

Yoga Straps come in varying lengths from 6′, 8′, and 10′. The preferred length would depend on your height and if you were wishing to do binds, therefore needing to loop the strap. Buckles can be either plastic cinch buckles, which are less expensive and are quieter when not looped. Metal D-Ring buckles are considered a little easier to loop through, but weigh a little more and ‘jangle’ when not looped. They are made of durable cotton or hemp. Cotton straps are available in purple, blue, or black. So lots of choices!
